Recovery changes over time
You may already know a lot about how to stay sober. You may have been through treatment, found a recovery community, or figured out abstinence on your own.
Individual therapy gives you a place to focus on what’s happening now — including the parts of your life or recovery that don’t fit neatly into a group, program, or meeting.
We can look at what’s working, where you’re getting stuck, and what you need at this point in your recovery. That might include patterns that keep showing up, relationships or experiences that affect your recovery, or changes you’re trying to sustain.
Therapy to support your recovery
Recovery is your own process, and it is ongoing. Therapy can give you a place to pay attention to parts of your life that may need more care, whether that’s planning for difficult moments, repairing or renegotiating relationships, reconnecting with parts of yourself, or figuring out what comes next.
We can work alongside whatever is already supporting you and focus on what feels most useful now.
Frequently asked questions about recovery counseling
Q. I’ve never been to rehab, but I’ve stopped drinking or using drugs on my own. Can you help?
Yes. You don’t need to have completed treatment or followed a particular recovery program to come to therapy. We can start with what’s already working and what you want support with now.
Q. Can therapy work alongside the recovery support I already have?
Yes. Therapy can complement meetings, medication, community support, or other practices that are already part of your recovery. You don’t have to give up what works in order to work with us.
Q. How does harm reduction fit with recovery?
Harm reduction is part of how we approach addiction treatment, including abstinence-based recovery. We focus on what helps you stay safe, maintain the changes you’ve made, and respond to difficult moments without turning a setback into a judgment about who you are.
